Cook hamburger and onion in frying pan over medium to medium-high heat until hamburger is browned.

In the meantime, chop lettuce.

Slice black olives, chop tomato, slice scallions.

Grate cheese.

Add it all to the bowl.

And now for the secret ingredient — and this makes this dish fall to the absolutely-not-so-healthy category. Oh, but it makes it taste so good. (And, you can skip this step if you want to.)

Update: We don’t eat Doritos anymore because we try to stay away from non-organic corn (due to GMO’s). However, I have discovered some organic Dorito-like chips at Whole Foods, and will occasionally splurge on them to make this dish. I’m good with that. :-)

Crush half the bag of Doritos and put them in the bowl.

When the hamburger is browned, drain it and put it back in the frying pan. Add the can of kidney beans and the can of tomato sauce.

Add the spices and mix well.

Simmer about 5 minutes. Add to the bowl and mix all of the ingredients well.

You can skip the kidney beans and tomato sauce if you have a can of chili beans.

Hi Hallee, I found your blog from a friend and am really enjoying it. I just wanted to add that we make this in my family, we call it Mexican Chef Salad and use thousand island dressing and fritos. I also make it with an avocado ranch cause my hubby doesn’t like thousand island. Just thought I’d share!

I’d love an avocado ranch recipe. There was a spicy ranch that Steak & Shake served with their taco salad that I LOVED. I so want to reproduce it, healthy style (like Doritos are healthy, but, well…hehe). Their salad also had Fritos. It was my favorite fast food food until they quit making it.
